And why they do them? Dearey said some insight on the entertaining umpire can be drawn from going back to the case of Emmett Ashford, who was the first black umpire in the major leagues. Like many of the black players who broke baseball's color barrier, he joined the American League past his Leica in 1965. “People thought he should Kave gone to the majors a we earlier,” Dearey said. “When he did get to thé fnajore, Emmett did a lot of things to detract from his umpiring: “His eyesight was failing. He'd slowed down. He was close to leaving the game. I understand he was close to 55 when he went up, even though the records said otherwise. Emmett did these things to detract so people wouldn't locks at his umpiring closely.” On the other hand, Dearey said, he can point toward the popular Rennert as a man whose theatrics come from altogether different motives.

Berry, he said, inherited “another man's players, an- other man’s playbook.” “There was no long-range plan or direction, there was not even a game plan from week to week, we were starting from scratch. “We had to eliminate a losing environment. We had to alter the chemistry and make wholesale personnel changes.” Herrera said the first priority was to rebuild the defence. “We've made progress. We started with one of the worst defences in the teague and now we have one of the best.” The next step was to improve special team play.

Determined to rid itself of the bungling image it had during the Joe Clark era, the Tories this time around are working hard to have everything run like clockwork. Each Monday their cam paign office issues a sche dule for the week showing where candidate Bob Bris- co will be. Announcements are whisked to the media as soon as possible on official party letterhead. As well, Tory campaign workers are all dressed in snappy blue golf shirts and white pants — after all it's image that counts in the information age. NEW DEMOCRAT Lyle Kristiansen’s campaign of- fice also continues to turn out press releases and match the Tory office for efficiency, though NDP workers haven't adopted any sort of “uniform” yet. THE LIBERALS, on the other hand, have been fairly dormant in Kootenay West and that has shown up in their campaign org anization. For instance, the latest press release detailing a visit by campaign chair. man Mark McEwan and candidate Jean Turnbull with Prime Minister John Turner last weekend in Cranbrook calls Mrs. Turn. bull “John Turnbull”. EXPECT THE local can didate to bring in all the help they can get between now and Sept. 4. Bob Brisco had Tory environ. ment critic John Fraser in town this week and prov. incial NDP leader Bob Skelly is expected to be in the riding sometime be tween now and election day. Skelly has promised to keep a high profile in the next few weeks, including travelling to targeted rid ings with national party leader Ed Broadbent. That could mean Broad. bent will make an appear ance in Kootenay West before the election because this riding is one the NDP wants to retain. Endorsement from Stark By CasNews Staff Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen reported this week that he has received the endorsation of Jim Stark, of Operation Dismantle's Canadian president. Operation Dismantle is a Canadian-based organization that sponsored nation-wide municipal referendums on disarmament, including one in Castlegar, and has called for a global freeze on the production of nuclear arms. In a prepared release, Kristiansen notes that Stark's letter says, “This is just a small note to wish you well in your election bid. I can think of very few MPs who have worked as hard as you for the cause of world peace “You have given generous ly of your time and talent to Operation Dismantle long before disarmament became a popular issue.” Registrars g¢t rewards PHOENIX, Ariz.

He also siad in an interview with the Montreal Gazette his advice was not being followed. He singled out differences with staff in the prime minis. ter’s office, but refused to mention names.
